Friday fic for you, closed tabs for me -- win/win!
Captain America/Doctor Who: The Stuff of Legends, by cold_feets Steve and Rory have more in common than just the Doctor. Lovely look at two guys who did the job in front of them. (They'd get along with Sam Vimes, I think.)
Captain America/Iron Man: Magnetic by
boombangbing Tony and Pepper are in a committed relationship, everyone knows that. Tony still flirts relentlessly with Steve, though, and Steve doesn't know what to make of it. Then he starts having weird feelings about Pepper too, and he really, really doesn't know what to make of that. (I'm not sure I like the sequel nearly so much, but this one is lovely fun.)
Doctor Who/Sherlock (BBC): Sidelined & Try, Try Again, by gracie_musica (both in hir Second Fiddle series). Lovely Donna Noble/John Watson stories, and great fun. (I say this as a person who barely watches Doctor Who, too!)
Harry Potter: And On The Third Day, by
MerryArwen/
recessional (Harry/Ron/Hermione) Eventually, they find a note tacked to the gargoyle who guards the passage to the Headmaster's office. It is in Granger's handwriting and signed by her at the bottom, and tells them that, the danger being over and the initial aftermath winding down, she feels that the three of them need some time alone to recuperate and will reappear exactly three days from that day, at four o'clock. (The note alone is hilarious and made me read this fic, and I like it better as an epilogue than the one Rowling wrote.)
Highlander: Burn Layer, by tryfanstone History, archaeology, and Ceirdwyn in the same place a second time. 2nd person POV that works, and a lovely mystery for the archaeologist in question.
Highlander: Immortal Legacy, by dswdiane Rebecca's wake and part two of her will. Just comforting and comfortable and a lot of favorite immortals in one place for a good reason and getting along, ditto.
Highlander: A Proper Education by
ishafel Those who can, teach. If I was taking this class from this Methos, I'd pay attention too!
Highlander: Vid, this time, by friendshipper The tangled, dark grey mess that's the Horsemen and Cassandra set to Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down." Well worth watching and thinking about.
Highlander PSA: The Highlander Holiday fic exchange, hlh_shortcuts , is taking sign-ups for the next two weeks. If you want to play, this is your chance.
Leverage/White Collar: The Gallery Job, by
mermaid As part of their plan to take down a crooked art dealer, the Leverage team need a painting forged in a hurry. Luckily, Alec Hardison knows just the guy - Neal Caffrey. Go, read, enjoy.
Sentinel/Highlander: Bureaucratic Error by X-parrot I have no good summary for this except to say, Blair Sandburg, Hugh Fitzcairn, and fun! Okay, and really, it's short and fun, go read it!
Mysterious Art: Last, a neat real-world matter: mysterious paper sculptures are showing up around the Edinburgh (Scotland) literary world. Go, read the article, and marvel at the art. If you like that sort of art, Su Blackwell also does cut paper art, and has some online here. NB: If it will upset you to see a book cut up, even to be turned into literary art, do NOT click those!
Other than that, I just read Kelly Armstrong's Spellbound and enjoyed it; I'm mainlining Miss Marple, both the novels and the Joan Hickson movies, for my Girl Saves Boy fic, and I'm immensely grateful that I have a copy of The Life And Times of Miss Jane Marple. It's a little idiosyncratic in set-up, but useful!
Anyway, off to write a couple more crossover dialogues for that meme. Later! Original post on Dreamwidth | Leave a comment on DW | Read
